I personally haven't heard of such a letter, but my guess is they want to keep you off their backs from 6 more months. I am pretty sure you will hear from them within a month or two but if you don't hear from them in two months (or which ever period of time you deem appropriate), then you may want to consider an infopass or contacting your congressman/woman.

Usually a 6 month wait is their standard letter format - just like when you call them they seem to be responding to you by reading some pre-determined answers written in-front of them.
